Still Hollow Estate – Low-Sloped Roof 

Our team was initially called out to meet the new owners of the Still Hollow Estate. The beautiful landmark estate in Tewksbury, NJ was built in 1790.  The expansive property features several outbuildings and boasts an amazing pool – constructed in the early 1940’s.  During the 1920’s, the Still Hollow Estate served as a weekend getaway for a family living in Manhattan, NYC. 

With age comes beauty for this estate.  Although beautiful, the previous owners had neglected to properly maintain the low-sloped section of the roof – for quite some time.  This was brought to the attention of the new owners their first winter at Still Hollow. Subsequent storms caused accumulation of snow and ice on the rear lower-roof section of the home.

Current Condition – Still Hollow Low-Sloped Roof 

Viewing Still Hollow Estate from behind – attached to a massive brick chimney – was the low-sloping roof.  After close examination of the area,  several layers of roofing were discovered. Unfortunately, the past installation attempts proved to be one poorly installed roof, over-top of another.  Ultimately this resulted in a multitude of leaks – throughout the entire roof area. Due to the slope of the roof section, and the type of material chosen for past installations – the roof was failing. To properly function, the correct material must be installed in low-sloping roof areas.
